Two armed robbers allegedly looted around Rs 11 lakh from an accountant of a private hospital this afternoon near the busy Khandagiri Square in Odisha’s capital city Bhubaneswar.

The robbers, who came on an Activa scooter, intercepted the vehicle carrying the hospital’s accountant and fired at them. When the vehicle stopped, they snatched away the money bag containing the cash which was to be deposited in a bank.

Both the hospital’s accountant and driver of the vehicle, who reported the matter to the Khandagiri police station, are being interrogated by the Bhubaneswar DCP Nitinjit Singh, sources said.
